Thanks, OK I will pass on it...1944 would have been more desirable!

Thanks David. I received a PM from John (buzzthetower) stating that it's definitely a Cagleco G-1, made in the 7823 series... So that means its post war I take it...

Thanks David So its not a G-1 (or war time M-422 equivalent) but rather an AN6552 (=AN-J3-A) late war, is that what you're saying? So is it war time or not? (I'm not familiar with 55J14 spec...) and is $95 bucks worth it?

Is this an M-422 or a G-1? In other words war time or post war? Its being offered to me for $95 bucks... but the size is small...(non wearable...value?) The pocket flaps are pointed, the mutton fur collar is pointed and it has a USN stencil... Those are good signs for it to be ww2, right? Not...

Yes I can confirm that patch is from that RKO "Studio" batch....from E-Bay, so a late 40's or early 50's repro...

This is the official White House (gift) Staffer jacket, a black flight jacket...not exactly an A2...

They also wear this light weight jackets... and a tan one...not Air Force 1 related...

Makes sense! So that's the helicopter jacket!

From The Telegraph.Co.UK in 2008 After UK prime minister Brown took over from Blair, Gordon Brown rejected the gift of leather jacket from George W Bush. The list of gifts received by ministers, shows that Mr Brown chose not to exercise the option of keeping the presidential present given to...

Did not catch that other thread... President Bush apparently liked G1 jackets...
